The NCC Group Conference Dublin

Over 300 delegates gathered in Dublin last month, with esteemed colleagues travelling from across Europe, Canada, Australia and the US. A fantastic four-day schedule was arranged with a wide range of talks across disciplines associated with information security. The primary focus for this event was to facilitate the formation of informal networks across teams within the organisation. It was an opportunity for delegates to meet their colleagues to build relationships, collaborate, and discuss future strategies for the company.

Challenges, Solutions & Highlights

Due to the acquisition of various companies throughout the organisation of the NCC Conference, multiple changes were required for block room bookings and the allocation of venue space. Regular changes to the event structure can lead to complications down the line if not appropriately managed. However Louise clarified any issues with the forecast event size, and quickly and efficiently rectified the situation. This was the first conference of its kind for the organisation, and they were very happy with the management and production pre, during and post event. Client feedback from the event was very positive, and a rating of 10/10 was given for the service. The venuesireland.com™ team are now in the process of working on the next NCC Conference.
